The 33-year-old Jos Leijdekkers is one of the most wanted criminals in the Netherlands. It is a high priority for the police and the Public Prosecution Service to bring him back to the Netherlands to serve his sentence. Details cannot currently be discussed for investigative reasons.
Leijdekkers is on the National Wanted List and the EU Most Wanted List. On June 25, 2024, he was sentenced to 24 years in prison by the Rotterdam court for six drug transports totaling nearly 7000 kilograms of cocaine and for giving a murder order. In September 2024, a Belgian court sentenced him to 10 years in prison for drug trafficking and assault.
The Dutch police are also investigating other cases in which Leijdekkers may be involved, such as the disappearance of Naima Jilal. The Public Prosecution Service has offered a reward of 200,000 euros for the tip that leads to his arrest.
